Visible Count Mechanics

[Y2Koach]

The preferred arm swing motion in my area is to:
- use your right arm
- tuck your right hand firmly underneath your arm pit
- lower your elbow from a horizontal position downwards towards your hip to start the count
- raise your elbow back up to horizontal position to complete a full second
- at the count of ten, the officials are to blow their whistles multiple times while running to the center court line, waving both hands with all 10 fingers extended

Important point of emphasis for this rule and mechanic: Only call the violation until the last few possessions of a tight game. After that, you have to let the players decide the game. Also, make sure to call it both ways.

True story.
